Ingredients
  

Soup Base

  • 1 larg head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Rosemary Olive Oil

  • 3 tbsp tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Roast the Cauliflower
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    Toss cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
    for 20 minutes, or until golden and tender.
  • Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
    In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
    Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
    Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Step 3: Simmer the Soup
    Add roasted cauliflower and vegetable broth to the pot.
    Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Step 4: Blend and Cream
    Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender.
    Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Step 5: Infuse the Rosemary Oil
    In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat.
    Add the rosemary sprig and let it steep for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the rosemary.
  • Step 6: Serve
    Ladle the soup into bowls.
    Drizzle each serving with rosemary olive oil for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy texture, strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve after blending.
  • Garnish with crispy croutons, chopped parsley, or toasted almonds for added texture.
